Walkthrough
Port Foozle
When the game starts you are standing at a crossroads. To the left is Port Foozle, to the right
is an old well, and behind you is the path to the Monastery (now the Inquisition Headquarters).
Head toward Port Foozle. At the fish shop on the edge of town look at the controls near the
oudspeaker. Turn the volume on the Inquisition loudspeaker to maximum. Look at the display
case in front of the store. While the speaker is spouting propaganda grab the stuff in the
display case (Light Mead and a plastic six-pack holder).
Turn around and go to the dock. Use the winch a few times to hear everything the magic fish
has to say. Place the six-pack holder on the hook and use the winch again. After the fish l
eaves get the Lantern from the Box.
Go to Antharia Jack's shop and show him the lantern (Use the lantern with the door). After
he lets you in he'll offer you a cigar and go looking for his wrench. Take a cigar from the
box. Jack will fiddle with the lantern (and hit it a few times) then send you back outside,
keeping the lantern for himself.
Go to the end of the street. Look at the Talking Grand Inquisitor doll and light it with the
cigar. Turn around and jump inside the barrel. After Jack gets hauled away by the Inquisition
Police return to his shop and pick up the lantern. While in the shop you can also find a
computer that is running Planetfall (Although you can't play).
After getting the lantern leave Port Foozle and head to the Monastery. Read the signs on the
fence and get the rope from the Frobozz Electric Totemization Counter.
Now go to the well in the forest, use the rope to climb down the well. After meeting Dalboz
who's trapped in the lamp) and talking to Gael the Enchantress you will have your spellbook
and be standing outside one of the secret entrances to the Great Underground Empire.

on the door and proceed down the stairs.
Turn to the left. Next to the entrance is a small case that contains a hammer, a Sword, and a
map. Open the case and take the hammer, then close it and use the hammer to break the glass.
You can now get the Sword and Map from the case.
Look on the ground to the right of the entrance. You will find Griff's Totem there -- pick it up.
Proceed down the path to the crossroads. To the left is the entrance to the Dungeon Masters
Lair (currently blocked by brush). To the right is the Crossroads teleport machine and entrance

Open the door with the REZROV spell, then enter. To get into GUE Tech you have to solve the
matching puzzles on the three columns. On the first two columns you have to match the pictures.

the second is the tower with the "Z" on top. For the third column you have to create a complete
window. Match the sections so that the entire window is visible, ignoring the rest of the image.
Click on the window that appears to enter GUE Tech.
Move around the fountain to the left and read all the notices on the bulletin board. Continue
around the fountain to the hallway entrance. Look up above the hallway entrance to see the sign
describing it as an "Infinite Hallway". Cast IGRAM on the word "Infinite" to change the hallway
to a finite corridor. Enter quickly before it changes back and go down the hallway and listen to
all four parts of the message from Belboz.
Head back to the fountain and exit GUE Tech using the door. Turn around and go back up the stairs.

door. Once inside head downstairs and collect the Grue eggs. Go back upstairs and use the Flickering
Torch with the pot in the corner, then place each egg in the pot to boil it.
Once you have boiled all the eggs go back downstairs. Throw the eggs at the stalactites until the
break away and reveal a platform you can jump to. Jump across the chasm to the Chess puzzle and the
Skull of Yorick.
There's no way for Brog to win the game, just use the board you pulled from the door to smash the
game and pick up the Skull. Place the skull on the cushion in the castle and exit through the time
tunnel.
Jail
Once Brog returns you will be arrested and thrown in jail. Talk to Jack through the air vent until
he gives you a scroll. Use the letter opener to unscrew the vent and take the scroll. Take the poster
off the wall. Use the scroll on the cell door to create a lock. Place the poster under the door and
push the key out of the lock using the letter opener. Take the key and poster and unlock the door.
Save the game.
Go to the control panel to the left of the cell and examine the blueprints. Watch the monitor until
you see jack waving through his cell window. Using the blueprints and the camera number that displayed
when you saw Jack figure out what cell he's in. Set the controls to that cell number and press the
button. Jack will go get your stuff and come meet you at the control panel. The walking castle will
appear again and take you to Flathead Mesa.
Flathead Mesa
Once Gael has given you the scroll use it on your spellbook to reverse all your spells. Go back into
the castle and take all three artifacts. Exit the castle.
Head toward the broadcast tower. Use the VORZER spell to close the guard tent, then use MARGI to
reveal the invisible fence. Unplug the fence, and then cut it with the sword. You now need to place
the artifacts in the correct positions on the tower. The Skull goes in a box at the bottom of the
tower, the Cube goes in the hole halfway up the tower, and the Coconut goes in one of the cups at
the top of the tower. After you place the Coconut Dalboz will have you balance the cups using the
lantern.
After placing all the items look up and cut the wire using the sword. Once the Grand Inquisitor starts
climbing the tower cast the spell to bind the parts of magic.
The Inquisitor will be destroyed, the creatures trapped in totems will all be freed, Lucy will be
elected Queen, and you will become the fourth Dungeon Master.
Congratulations. You've successfully completed Zork: Grand Inquisitor.
